How You Can Participate in the New Way Forward Capital Campaign
There is a growing excitement throughout the membership as more and more Brothers learn about the “New Way Forward” Capital Campaign. The Kappa Foundation is poised to make a major impact on the lives of thousands of boys and young men of color for years to come. Our launch of the “Building a New Way Forward for the Next Generation of Achievers” campaign will provide long-lasting support and will expand those programs that guide and assist our young men into future economic viability.
We need you in order to make our impact a reality. The campaign is about building a positive future for our youth, but we need your financial contributions to create the change that we need.
We know that everyone is not of the same means and cannot contribute at the same level. However, we hope you believe that this campaign is important enough that you will contribute something. Please review the various ways to give and the new Legacy Giving levels. Whether you are an undergraduate or an alumni member, we know that there is a level to fit you*.
The Kappa Foundation is very excited about this unique opportunity because we know what can happen when we all pull together for a unified cause. The Foundation thanks you in advance for your participation in this significant journey of achievement.
